The "web dwell": rooting, alienation, and transparency in the modern technical era

Abstract

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to expose the way in which social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), constitute what we call here “dwell web”. Partially taking up the approach of Heidegger, Marx and Han, and looking at the same time in The Matrix, we will show that "dwell web" is a way of living based on the development of modern technique, characterized, first, for transparency and, second, for being a specific historical mode of alienation that hides the lifeworld.
